Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start Chapter 70: Complications! (4/5)1
As Chen Mo continued to consu Energy recklessly, his Flying speed was astonishing. In less than five minutes, he arrived at the Fengze City Municipal Hospital Branch II, a place that would normally take over an hour to reach by car.
As Chen Mo landed with Liu Yiyi, the people around did not react unusually.
Although it was uncommon for soone as young as Chen Mo to be capable of Flying, there were quite a few young, powerful second-transition individuals. Not all professionals were middle-aged.
Those who did not recognize him simply thought of him as an ordinary second-transition expert.
Following the information on Liu Yiyi’s phone, they quickly arrived at the inpatient departnt.
At this ti, a woman who looked to be in her forties was sitting by a hospital bed with a worried expression, and the grandfather was already unconscious.
"Grandma, how’s Grandpa?" Chen Mo imdiately stepped forward and asked.
"Mo, I told you not to co..."
"Don’t worry, Grandma. I passed my test and did well, so don’t worry about . What’s really important now is Grandpa’s condition."
"Your grandfather is suffering from a disease called Soul Devouring Bacteria. The doctor said this bacteria only infects lifestyle professionals. In serious cases, it can be lethal. Furthermore, those who die from this bacteria can’t be resurrected, just like professionals who die of old age."
"The Soul Devouring Bacteria? How could Father suddenly get this terrible disease?" Liu Yiyi asked, tears brimming in her eyes.
She had been away for so long, and this was the first ti in many years she had seen her father. But the reunion took place while her father was unconscious, causing her to cry uncontrollably.
"It’s all because of that damned old man! He went fishing with so people a while ago. They didn’t catch any fish, and all of his fishing companions contracted the sa disease," Grandma said, sighing helplessly and shaking her head.
"Did the doctor say how to treat it?" Chen Mo imdiately asked.
This was no ti for sorrow and worry; the priority was to find a treatnt thod promptly.
"Yes, but the dicine is expensive, and it’s not a quick fix. It requires a long period of continuous dication..."
Grandma suddenly fell silent. This was precisely when Chen Mo, their family’s only combat professional, needed money the most. Not only did they have no money to support him, but they might even need to use Liu Yiyi’s money for the dical treatnt. She really couldn’t bring herself to say it.
She couldn’t help but recall what her husband had said before he fell ill.
"Mo is at the age to awaken his profession now. He’ll need plenty of money in the future. Yiyi never accepted my money in the past, but now, for the child’s future, I can’t listen to her anymore.
"My dear, we old folks don’t need much money. Let’s give it all to Mo to build his foundation."
Even after falling ill, her husband still put Chen Mo first.
"My dear, it seems my illness is serious. If it’s so kind of costly major illness, we might as well not treat it. We can’t delay the child’s future because of , this useless old man. The family’s money should still be used to support Mo’s growth, understand!"
After insisting on these words, Grandpa fell into a deep coma.
Every ti she recalled his words, she wondered if she should continue speaking.
"As long as there’s a cure, that’s good. Let’s go ahead and pay so the doctors can start the treatnt."
"Silly child, this dicine is extrely expensive." Grandma looked helplessly at Chen Mo’s innocent face and smiled. The boy has a kind heart, but he doesn’t understand the difficulty.
At this point, Liu Yiyi was also caught in a dilemma. On one side was her future, on the other, his life. It seed neither could be sacrificed. But this was her father; she couldn’t possibly not save him. She actually had no other choice; she had to save her father’s life. But she was afraid that if she said so, it would hurt Chen Mo. What if he thought she didn’t consider his future because he was her adopted son? Although she knew Chen Mo was a good, sensible kid and probably wouldn’t misunderstand... However, everyone was still worried.
At this mont, a nurse walked in.
"Bed No. 9 needs dication."
Then, she turned to Grandma and said, "Auntie, this dicine can only delay the onset of the disease, and it’s not cheap. Relying solely on this dicine isn’t a solution; it’s like throwing money down the drain. It’s best to pay quickly so we can start proper treatnt.
"Moreover, this is a four-person ward. With this kind of disease here, no one else dares to co in, which strains our dical resources. You should try to find a way to move to a private VIP room."
"Sigh." Grandma sighed. She had so much on her mind but couldn’t utter a word. They didn’t even have money for dicine, let alone a VIP ward.
"Doesn’t your family have a combat professional? You should be able to scrape together so money for the initial treatnt costs, right?"
"’Hello, Nurse. Please change the dication for us. We want the dicine that can provide a cure,’ Chen Mo said imdiately to the nurse."
This nurse seems to an well, Chen Mo thought, but there’s a sense of mockery in her words. She knows we can’t afford the dicine, yet she recomnded a VIP ward. Plus, her entire speech essentially said: if you don’t have money, don’t even bother getting treatnt here; you’re just wasting our dical resources. Naturally, Chen Mo couldn’t bear to listen any longer.
"’Alright. Once you’ve paid, I’ll change it for you.’ The nurse clearly didn’t think Chen Mo could afford the paynt. As soon as this family ca in, she could tell their standard of living."
"How much is the fee?" Chen Mo asked calmly, ignoring her attitude.
"One course is seven days, and the cost is 10,000,000. A total of four courses of treatnt are needed, amounting to 40,000,000. Then, this must be combined with a potent dicine costing 30,000,000 to achieve a complete cure.
"Let be clear with you: these dicines are quite difficult to prepare, and we are not overcharging. So, all in all, the total cost needed is 70,000,000."
Hearing this astronomical figure, Liu Yiyi almost fainted. Fortunately, as professionals generally have higher tolerance levels, she managed to stay conscious. However, she still felt dizzy and sank heavily onto the bed. Where could she possibly get such a huge sum of money?
Seeing her reaction, the nurse imdiately showed an unsurprised expression. "You can also choose to take only one course first," she said. "With one course of dicine, the disease can be delayed for at least a month, giving you ti to slowly raise the money."
"No need. We’ll pay in full now. Here is the fee," Chen Mo said, taking out 70 silver coins and placing them on the nurse’s tray.
After placing them down, Chen Mo expressionlessly took out another 10 silver coins and said, "Besides my grandfather’s treatnt, please also arrange a full body checkup for my grandmother. She’ll definitely be staying here for the next few days. Use the remaining money to move us to a private VIP room. I don’t want anyone disturbing their rest. Are 10 silver coins enough? If not, I can add more!"
